[Solved] pluto-generic-serial-device failing to install

[etNHGfU8]

Per http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9729.msg75308#msg75308, I have been trying to get my LG TV to PNP with linuxMCE and after further searching I found the following entry in /var/log/pluto/Spawn_cdc_4016.log: "Problem installing pluto-generic-serial-device (100)."

I attempted to perform the installation from the command line but it failed as well.

Are the packages still available? If so where can they be found?

Hi,

Change /etc/apt/sources.list

from .archive & .security

to .old-releases

Cheers

I tried your suggestion but still no success. I have traversed to the various sites that claim to have the file but when I dig down through the directories the file just doesn't exist.

Any other suggestions?

Hi,

I decided the other day to download and upgrade to the Nov. 1 snapshot and got caught with intrepid being moth-balled.

So when I did apt-get update everything failed 404 error.

So hunting revealed old-releases with no country identifiers prefixes - i.e. us, uk, ca,cn, etc.

Have not seen your ruby file error.  I will poke around and see if libtcltj-ruby1.8 etc is downloaded.

At present haven't much time to play but I will look into libtcltk over the next few days if someone else doesn't step forward.

Cheers

I managed to get it to install.

I had to comment out the intrepid-updates and intrepid-security lines in /etc/apt/source.list.

I'll see if I can find someone to clean up the database/files providing the intrepid-updates and intrepid-security stuff.
